when I was young we used to call this going to school. and yes, it was up hill both ways :p;)

today was back and bi's- I need to alternate the groups during my workout b/c i could finish bi's. I guess eating food helps too. great day for back, shitty day for bi's

try doing chest with bis and back with tris so that they aren't already worn out from the heavy compound moves in the back/chest.

yeah i;m starting a new routine in the new year that looks like this

day 1-chest bi
day 2-legs
day 3-cardio and abs
day4-back tri
day5-shoulders traps
 
stretch session (30 mins - kung fu stretch routine... i can almost get a full split and can get my ankle up to my ear now!)

incline chest press | freeweights | 12x-10x-10x-8x (reps)
cable flys | cables| 12x-10x
flat bench | freeweights | 10x-8x
decline press | freeweights | 12x-10x-10x-8x

did kung fu forms for 30 mins

practiced on punching bag for 10 mins or so

saw some ridiculously hot girl working out and had to go do a ton of shoulder shurgs or whatever miscellaneous things i could think of so i could be near her aura. her form was perfect and her physique was incredibly strong, a rare thing to witness. her chi was amazing and it gave me a second wind so i worked out for like 20 more mins. i wanted to tell her but i figured thatd be weird and awkward so i just left.
 
gym was closed all weekend so i binged on ice cream chinese food and tgi fridays...fuck myself...back at it tomorrow for real...chest abs and 1 hour cardio

If said right with the right tone and body language, I think it would be oddly honest but appreciated and understood.

I finally got back to class after a 7 day hiatus due to injury.
Mild discomfort in my right hamstring/glute. I am back, baby :)
 
na. id be so far out of my element talking to a stranger in a gym that id ruin myself.

(mind you, i live in the 'hood. women are quite careful in this community ;) )

i think it not only violates my personal code of gym etiquette, but i wouldnt be able to take my mind off the fact that she probably doesnt want to be disturbed at the moment, and shed probably assume i was just hitting on her instead of just complimenting her abilities. these would ruin me so this is what i mean by out of my element.

ima go shovel some snow now while i digest all this protein...
 
yeah I am gonna drink this beer and shovel garlic bread in my mouth

you are right...hood or no hood...your thoughts were best kept to yourself. Transfer of shared energy in silence :)

I think when you are thinking good things you should say it but I guess there are rules to that too.
 
Just started working out after recovering from opiate addiction. I haven't worked out in like 8 months. Yesterday I lifted lots of heavy(heavy for me lol) weights: bicep curls, triceps extensions, inclined bench press, leg press, adductor and abductor machines, running on the treadmill, lat-pull down. I also use the Perfect Pushup and some sit-ups.

Today I did Yoga and it felt really good stretching out my still sore muscles that way, and also a few body weight exercises. I'm new to this whole healthy living thing, but I think I could easily get used to this. :)
 
yo thats crazy dude, thats exactly how i became a physiqual fanatic.

i wasted away doing hundreds of milligrams of oc. dope, morphene, and fent for like 6 months, and that was after a year of abusing them regularly, albeit not daily. i think i had a 3 month period where my forehead was glued to the desk from nodding off while posting on BL or playing warcraft 3 mods.

then i kicked that habit and hung out with some people that were really into weightlifting and that sort of thing. a few months later i started lifting with some friends of mine that were back from active duty with the marines, and they were getting back in shape. learned a hell of a lot from them. from then on i was pretty intrigued at how one can really command and control one's body.

from just really being genuinely interested in exercise sciences and nutrition i garnished a lot of my own data and anecdotal studies. i know my own metabolism by heart and could shape myself literally into anything i can imagine in my head in a specified amount of time. i was pretty impressed for a particular 6 month period i gained 8lbs of muscle mass without gaining hardly any body fat either. i really enjoy applying diet and exercise and using myself as the result.

honestly now i dont even want to do any downers cause i see them as things that get in the way of my favorite hobby (sculpting my machine). my roomate leaves a huge bottle of hydrocodone in the spice cabinet (dont ask why...) and i dont even have the faintest desire to touch them, wheras like 6 years ago id scarf that bottle down in 3 days. even alcohol is like this, i only drink booze on special occasions or with very exclusive company cuz all i can think of is that its a poison destroying the foundations of my body, and ive spent a lot of energy on this.

of course, the greatest gift to mankind, sweet sweet sensi, has never been a barrier to my goals. in many ways, smoking cannabis has helped me, but i wouldnt recommend it to everyone. it was great for getting me, someone with a normally tame appetite, to consume 3500 calories in a day and still be hungry.

i cant imagine every living a life on drugs every day ever again (herb dont count to me lol). it was really fun tho, i wouldnt take my drug infused years back for anything. but now i cant imagine a week without regular workouts of some sort. i literally start to crave the sensation of a good workout and go through withdrawl, its that infused into my lifestyle.
 
Yeah I'm staying away from herb for the time being, just because it will tempt me to go into the harder stuff, as I don't really have any friends who smoke weed who don't also do the harder stuff. I'm only 12 days sober from a pretty bad daily OC addiction I also haven't used weed in that same amount of time. I definitely need to give it some time before I start toking again. I want to be a completely different person (mentally and physically) if I do finally decide to light up again. The thing that's different about this time I'm quitting, is that I totally came clean to my parents (20 years old and still living under their roof while going to college) on my own with no prompting or questioning from them. And I am actively searching for ways to fill up my day instead of just sitting around bored and depressed. I really can't ever see myself doing an opiate ever again after the emotional hell of the past 2 weeks I've been through.

I used to be really into martial arts and swimming, but I haven't done that since high school, about 4 years ago, but all that's about to change. Being an analytical person by nature I really admire your deep knowledge of the science aspect of fitness. Right now my mom is my work out partner :) She's not in the greatest shape, but she is 54. We are going to make each other healthier. Force each other to go the the gym.

I hope to be posting less and less in The Dark Side, and more and more in Healthy Living :D

Awesome..whatever it takes..once you get in a routine going to the gym is the easy part...its the dietary compliance and exercise science
 
Swam for 45 minutes. During this time worked out my Critical Swim Speed and only got 0.88 metres/sec! I was doing breast-stroke rather than front crawl though. Anyone else on here know their score?

Later I did 140 twist-sits and burned the triceps out in gym.
 
Well today I did an hour of Yoga and then worked out in the gym for about 45 minutes. Did bicep curls, leg press, hamstring curl, inner and outer thighs, triceps extensions, lat pulldown, seated row, and the chest butterfly thingie(don't know the name) and a 6 minute run on the treadmill and a 2 minute run on the elliptical. Nothing impressive at all I know I know, but I'm just getting into the routine of getting my ass to the gym and moving around again.
The thing I've noticed is that I get dull headaches after I work out hard. Is this simply my body adjusting to its new rigorous schedule, or is it dehydration, or both? I don't want to take ibuprofen every day.
 
^ impressive = having a desire to maintain your body, to maintain good personal health. Average humans care not for these things. By caring, you are automatically above average.

I can doggy paddle really, really slow.
 
^ He he, rm-rf each to their own :)

In that guide and others online their examples seem to be above 1.2 m/s. I thought I was a fairly good swimmer so I'd be interested to see if they're using professional athlete figures.

Any swimmers on here want to give it a go? Or simply revealing your 400m time would be enough to get an idea.

Yesterday I got 7:35 for 400m breast-stroke and 56 seconds for 50m thrashing, also breast-stroke. These were in a 25m pool.

Today I tried again and got 8:40 for my 400m, but I'm putting that down to having tired arms from yesterday and a heavy squat session in the gym before going to the pool.
 
I was a shitty ass swimmer they wouldn't even let me do anything other than a 100m backstroke or a 100m/50m freestyle because I had strong legs and could dolphin kick like a motherfucker. Every other stroke would kick my ass to no end. lol
